I was not afflicted by this issue, since not using Win8.1
nor the WebPVR (almost exclusively the CLI).
However, I take yet this opportunity to voice my
immense gratitude to you for the promptness and efficacy
in dealing with the various issues that ever so often arise :-).
After all, an application that is - no doubt - used by
thousands is in essense maintained by one person, you!
Read the information here:
https://github.com/dinkypumpkin/get_iplayer/wiki/win81
Quoting from the link:
This issue does not pertain to Windows 8 and earlier. Not yet, at least.
Yes, IE11 is scheduled for Win7, too!
Currently, it's in Release Preview status, available from here:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/internet-explorer/ie-11-worldwide-languages
But the change to final Release version, which will also be available
automatically
through Windows Update, is quite imminent; the following is quoted from:
http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9243188/Microsoft_ships_tool_to_block_IE11_on_Windows_7
If Microsoft sticks to the same timetable
(snip)
IE11 will launch near the end of this month (Oct 2013),
or in early November. Microsoft has declined to disclose a ship date for
IE11
on Windows 7, saying previously only that it would be this fall.
With the much greater user base of Win7, of whom many have WU on auto-mode,
those that do get updated to IE11 will - as I see it - have to deploy the
new installer, if
they want to keep using the WebPVR in the fashion they were used to with
IE<11.
So, maybe this new issue in Win8.1 was, in fact, a blessing in disguise, in
that you
were able to deal with it early on...
Regards,
V.
